I just finished Good Omens, so now it's on to American Gods and The Color of Magic. I love me some Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. I'm also in the process of reading Henry VI. I also love me some Shakespeare.
just finished flashman and the angel of the lord by george mcdonald fraser (read it about a dozen times now) and just started a steaming fresh copy of Retromancer by Robert Rankin. both are highly recommended, er, by me I guess. Also, heard puckoon by spike milligan on audiobook the other day. don't know if that should count as reading though.
ah spike. his epitah shall forever be 'wrote the goon show and died'.

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. A pretty good alternate history take on the start of WW1, where the Allies are Darwinists that genetically engineer creatures to fulfill thier needs (stuff that would be done by machines) and the Central powers are Clankers (i.e. mechs, walkers). Pretty good so far.
I've also got Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth which i'm reading on the side, not to mention all my textbooks and extension reading on the Reformation.

I'm currently on Honour Gaurd by Dan Abnett (the 4th Gaunts Ghosts book). Its such a good book, I think its my 4th time reading it. And is there a Horus Heresy Omnibus yet?
Frankie Boyle's autobiography: My Shit Life So Far.
Eh. Could be better. Basically a description of his life, obviously, but with a few jokes from his stand-up shows or Mock The Week thrown in at random intervals.
A bit dull. Still, I hate to leave a book unfinished.

I'm currently reading The Hobbit (almost finished with it, another 50 pages and I'm done). After that I'm gonna finish reading the third book in the Night Angel Trilogy (for those of you who haven't read it, go read it. It's a great series), and also just started reading Rainbow Six (so far I'm enjoying it). btw everybody this is my first post on the forums.
Quite a lot of books, which is not really typical for me.
"More Twisted" by Jeffery Deaver, a collection of his short stories. Pretty good stuff.
"The Scarpetta Factor" by Patricia Cornwell, a novel about Dr. Kay Scarpetta - star forensic analyst of CNN - and her newest case.
"Wer ist Jeffrey Dahmer?" ("Who is Jeffrey Dahmer?"), a German book about the Milwaukee Monster. Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm still a perfectly normal girl despite being interested in that kind of stuff. ^_^
"Grimm's Fairy Tales", sweet childhood memories.
And last but not least, the Bible. Once I finished that one I'd love to read the Qur'an to get a better understanding of the Islam.
EDIT: Oh, almost forgot. I do read loads of creepypasta on the internet, too. I like creepy!

Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad. It profiles a bunch of underground (mostly punk) bands from the 80's (Black Flag, Minor Threat, Fugazi, The Minutemen, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Mission of Burma, Butthole Surfers, The Replacements, Husker Du, Big Black, Beat Happening, and Mudhoney). It just about required reading for anyone interested in the music, the period, the lifestyle, and the thought process of these people. Mission of Burma, The Minutemen, Sonic Youth, and Minor Threat are especially interesting so far. I hadn't listened to either Burma or the Minutemen before the book and now I love them. Better late than never. It's a great experience to listen to the music as I'm reading about it, it really makes you focus on it all the more.
That's a lot said about one book...
Other than that:
- A Dragon Age book (The Calling). It's not good so far. Moving on...
- Berklee Music Theory. I'm trying to expand my playing style so I figured learning music theory would be a good way to aid in that endeavor.
- Atlas Shrugged. God. I pick this book up and generally find it interesting and then I get busy and put it down for a long time. I'm only about 200 pages in and I started this over the summer. Yeesh. My mid-July to September lifestyle of only MCAT studying in the day and partying at night, then surfing the rest of the time derailed my reading of it big time.

I'm reading Lord of Chaos, the sixth book in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I've loved the series so far, but I've heard that this is where the books become a bit of a drag. I'm only a few chapters in, so I have yet to see for myself, but regardless I will keep reading because the series is so damn good!
Im rereading World war Z. Damn this is a good book, Max Brooks needs to make a book about if the zombies won. That would be great!
